java.util.Date parameter type

2004-02-06 14:08

If I have an input parameter of type java.util.Date and my SQL statement has the following $P{myDate} in it what will this output into my SQL statement? Is the output the same as calling toString() on the Date object (i.e., Fri Feb 06 13:05:21 PST 2004).

Good question.

 

Try to take a look to the jasperreports code to see exacly what it does. But I think that jasperreports expect a string....

 

Why don't pass two parameters, the first is of type java.util.Date, the second the same date formatted in a string. You can use the first when you nedd a date, the second when you need a string.
